There is a logical progression in fact. I click. I watch. I like. I buy. I read. I read again. And again. Up to about ten different titles of Dr.Sowell now. Unbelievable.
Thats because we continue to elect people with no interest in resolving the issues...Immigration has needed reformed for over 40 years with no resolution..
I'm admittedly a Dr. Sowell fan so I naturally clicked on this video. I, however, have no idea how great an interviewer Ailes is. He let's him speak, butts in when it's appropriate, asks follow up questions, and all that because he listens. The anecdote about the champion African boxer is absolute gold!! Dr. Sowell, if you'll allow me, I'm stealing that analogy.
I used to think that all the homeless people really needed help and were victims of unfortunate financial tragedies. Then I got a job that really gave me a front row seat to the realities of the homeless. Most, if not all, have mental illness, usually from years of drug abuse. Most, if not all, are still using drugs and/or alcohol. They all qualify and receive SSI benefits including housing. They panhandle for money not because they need food, but because their EBT/SNAP cards will not purchase more liquor or drugs. Most have families that tried to give them help and a place to live, but they created safety issues in the home or refused to make positive changes so they had to leave.
@coachhannah2403 it means that those bums are mostly lazy drifters and that we (productive members of American society) shouldn't feel bad about leaving them out there on their perches on local street corners and freeway off ramps without our money or even give them the time of day. It also means that Americans need to wake up and stop voting for sniveling idiot leftists who use said bums as crybullying battering rams to guilt taxpayers into electing and reelecting them to positions where they can waste more of our hard earned money on useless things that don't benefit us. Are we clear?
I came from an actual 3rd world country to western Europe. One day I saw a man panhandling outside of a discount supermarket, I gave him some money. A friend of mine who’s a local told me not to do that again. Before I had the chance to ask why, a nice car passed us by (we were walking) and I saw the man driving it was the one I gave my money to earlier. Apparently after I gave him a change he decided “lets call it a day”, got in his car, and drove away! I learned a lesson that day 😂
You won’t find many disrespectful comments about Doc Sowell. He should’ve been a real decision maker for this country, but truly great men seem to get their due diligence after the fact. Sad, but wonderful at the same time. His ideas and formulations will be with us for the rest of time...
Here is the whole book as an audiobook. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1gNAIfscnqs.html&ab_channel=Man%2CStateandMemetics You can listen while you do menial things like cooking or washing up if you do not have the time to sit through the whole thing. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
People gravitate towards Dr Sowell more and more. A sure sign of how timeless his ideas are and much we need a clear thinker in society. Truly an enlightenment values thinker.
I admire men or / women, such as Thomas Sowell, who are willing to examine a given issue, immerse themselves in it, and reach a well thought out perspective based on the data presented especially when everything in their background would dictate they follow the status quo. They are not afraid to stand alone in order to uphold what is right. This, in spite of the negative reprisals those views may bring. This man has stood for clarity and soundness for decades. May God continue to use his voice and written material to awaken many to clear and balanced views on many serious topics. ❤
Great interview & discussion! Thanks for making it available. Roger Ailes is an excellent interviewer. And Thomas Sowell is my hero. My wife and I both love his work. He has the mind and spirit of the American Founding Fathers.
As a young man, I was walking through Harvard Square when a white teen girl asked me for any ‘spare’ change - later walking back to the subway station I saw her again , pockets about to burst with change - When I asked her for spare change, she replied she didn’t have any !!
@Wo Long You need water? Thats a problem. Drinking water doesnt just solve your thirst, it also leaves you with less water. Thats a tradeoff. In the world of economics, theres nothing BUT tradeoffs.
@Wo Long i never said you couldn't drink from a spring. But now there is less water in that spring, leaving you with less natural resources. Trade off.
@Wo Long you're correct. It does sound hyperbolic. I believe that's why politicians preach it as a solution and not what it is, a trade-off. Some trade-offs are worth it: & I'd consider that to be labelled a good solution, possibly. Either way I believe that's why Dr. Sowell is broadcasting his findings -- the elite use "solutions" to gain power and money without choosing to publicize )or even observe) the counter evidence to their own "solutions," even if it produces opposite results. Thanks for the banter!
Would you be a good president? No I’d probably get impeached. I would do what I thought was right and the people who disagreed would do otherwise. Thomas Sowell is both brilliant and a prophet.
In regards to East Palo Alto, the place really was one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Things finally came to a head in 1994 when the number of murders in EPA reached an all-time high. To his credit, Gov George Dukmejian decided it was time for the state to step in. Between San Mateo SO, the CHP, and officers from at least 15 other agencies in the Bay Area., he started and funded a special task force. I was a reserve deputy in one of those departments at the time and spent a couple nights in EPA serving felony warrants and rounding up criminals that had outstanding warrants for years. We just flooded EPA with cops, and were taking every known or suspected criminal off the streets. I don't know how many we arrested in just that first week, but we needed buses from the Department of Corrections just to transport them all. BY the end of that first week, the good people of EPA could see the police weren't just putting on a big show. Some of the worst and most violent gangsters were off the street and weren't just going to get out on bail this time. We had residents come out of their house and cheer for us as we drove by. It was one of the few times in my 27 year career I felt like I was really doing something to help the weak and defenseless. Defunding the police will never work. Those high crime, mostly minority communities need way more police, not less.
A good man. wise and able to see things as they really are. The statement that some media " commentators" think that they are superior and have all the answers so true today in Australia. Self-titled " analysts" pontificating and speaking as the " Anointed speaking for the Angels" Our good politicians' effectiveness reduced because of the time the good politicians have to spend defending attacks from the " Anointed " who champion anything except the big issues like the CCP. The Anointed are cowardly bullies who if they had any intestinal fortitude would look at the big picture and see where true threats to our lives and way of life are.
You liked him because he didn't grill Dr. Sowell as sharply as Wattenberg did. This guy's questions were softball, and Sowell doesn't need that; he handled Wattenberg's questions and objections quite easily.
😎..if i have 'spare change'..i Usually 'contribute'.. Long story why...you never know..🙏..Very Wise man...you see Why Most people dont know him..😎..Plus, Errbody Should know from K. Marx and Many Others....Why its Not Good to 'over indulge' your kids..🙏💯💯
@@averagejohnson3985 I think when it comes to higher civic service that it's not appropriate to say someone should do something if they personally don't want to do it.
@@mpcc2022 I think what people who say this really mean is: "Wouldn't it have been great if Thomas Sowell had decided to run for President, and if he had won?" People need their daydreams.
What? No solutions, only trade-offs? Well, the solution is the course of action in which the benefits substantially outweigh the costs? In other words, it is the course of action in which the trade off is minimal compared to the benefits.
Sowell hangin out with Ailes...that picture shows exactly who he is. The black conservatisim dream..Ailes thinks I should be president!!I must be a genius!
I want to know what the Republican’s political considerations were that Dr Sowell referred to during the civil rights era. Historically the Republicans supported black civil rights. So specifically where did they fall short ? I’m sure he’s written about it I just need to know which book!
The man himself (or his family) can't pronounce his own name. "Coe-lin" sounds like the name of a pharmaceutical or a furniture polish! The name Colin is centuries old and comes from Scotland: it's pronounced "Coll-in," with a short "o" as in "cost" "cotton," not a long "o" as in "cold" or "coast."
15:40 Q: Is Jesse Jackson good for African-Americans or not? A: ...after zero hesitation, in fact the question was just about clipped by the vehement instant response... "No! He's good for himself." Pretty devastating Dr. Sowell. I have to agree though.
"The Liberals"seems to be used as a form of aspersion by the interviewer. Surely Liberal means to be open to ideas other than those one has been raised with. Liberal is a mindset , not a political movement. Many Democrats are far from liberal in their outlook and political views. The problem in America is that too many people have closed their minds to new ideas or to change. A bit more Liberalism might be a good idea.
Liberal in the political sense of the word means something different. It actually is a political movement. But it also means something different per country. A liberal in my country (the Netherlands) is not the same as a liberal in America, where it's usually conflated with leftism. That's why you also have the term "classical liberal" which is probably what you're talking about.
